Before Sunrise - 30th Anniversary (restored original version with Italian subtitles)
Regia: Richard Linklater
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Andrea Eckert, Hanno Pöschl, Karl Bruckschwaiger
Thirty years after its cinema release, one of the most celebrated romantic films of recent years returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon: Before Sunrise, directed by the great American director Richard Linklater and starring the unforgettable Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Jesse, a young American travelling through Europe, meets Céline, a French student returning to Paris, by chance on a train from Budapest to Vienna. A deep connection forms between the two almost immediately, and just before they arrive in Vienna, Jesse suggests a crazy idea: that they get off the train together and spend the night wandering around the city, before he catches his morning flight back to the United States. Céline agrees. Over the course of those few hours, the two explore Vienna on foot, talking non-stop about life, love, death, dreams and fears — with a disarming sincerity that stems precisely from the knowledge that the night will end and they will never see each other again. As dawn approaches, what seemed like a chance encounter turns out to be something truly unique.

"Una cosa spirituale" by VASCO BRONDI
Through creativity, it is possible to look within and around ourselves, to reach the sky, to attract lightning. In a materialistic society, it is the only force that allows us to stay in touch with magic and miracles: the incredible spectacle of imagined things becoming real. Una cosa spirituale (Einaudi) is a journey through creative processes and the experiences of artists and mystics, between the earth...

The restaurant
Caffè Odeon, a place to nourish mind and body
Open daily: 11:30 AM - 12:00 AM
Caffè Odeon in Florence was born from the encounter with the Giunti publishing house, and from the project to give new life to the historic Odeon cinema, transforming it into a multifunctional cultural center.
The idea is simple and ambitious: to create a space open all day, like the great Mitteleuropean cafés, where you can enjoy dishes from different gastronomic traditions, a varied pastry selection, a carefully curated coffee service, as well as wines, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.
Eating, drinking a coffee or a good glass of wine have much in common with reading a book or watching a film: they are different ways of experiencing stories, through the senses. It is this connection that makes our dream a reality.
A place of history and beauty
Since 1922, the most beautiful films, the most distinguished guests, and the most remarkable events have taken the stage at the magnificent cinema-theatre in Piazza Strozzi, Florence. Come visit us.
